Lette/rs Patent No. 94,537, 4dated September 7, 1869.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, D. N. ALLARD, of'Ohester Hill, in the, county of Morgan, and State of Ohio, have invented certain new anduseful 'Improvements in the Manner of Connecting or Uniting Cooking-Vessels, or Implements to Cooking-Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to he a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this speciiication, in which- Figure l represents, in perspective, a cooking-stove, with a cooking-vessel attached thereto after my plan, Vand moved away from the pot-hole.

Figure 2 represents a section through the vessel, top-plate, and the connecting-device, to show their construction.

Figure 3 represents a perspective view of the 'under side of the cooking-vessel, or implement.

Similar letters of reference where they occur in the separate igures denote like parts in all of the drawings.

Cooking-vessels, when not connected to the cooking-stove, are liable to be upset, knocked off, or drop down, and their heated contents often do much serions damage. To prevent this, the vessels have been pivoted to the stove, so that they may swing away from the opening in the top-plate of the stove, but still be united to it.

Byl this method of connecting the vessel to the stove, the former can only, move in a circle, of which the pivot is the centre,- and, when swung toward the.

sides 0f the stove, projects therefrom, and isliable to be run against. And ifthe stove happens to be set near the wall or in any contracted place, as is often done, the swinging toward the sides cannot well be done.

My invention consists in hanging cooking-vessels,

or such implements as are used on cooking-stoves, to

the stove by a pin and slot, so that said vessel can be moved toward the rear or ii'ont of the stove by means of the slot, and be swung around toward the sides of the stove by the pivot, and still remain united to the stove, though easily removed and replaced thereon or others substituted for it.

`'Io enable others skilled in 'the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe the same, with reference to the drawings. Y

On` the top plate A of the stove, and at or near one or more of the pot-holes therein, is a flanged or headed pivot a, which may be a short screw, with the head squared oi or sided, instead of round, as shown in ii f. 1.

On the under side'of the vessel, or implement B, is castor otherwise folmed, a dovetailed recess, b, of which the enlarged portion 'c will take in or receive the head of the pivot a, and then, when slid over the pivot-head, its flanges will take in lsaid dovetail groove, or recess, and allow the vessel to be moved longitudinally over or from its pot-hole d, or be swung around toward the sides of the stove, whichever is most convenient. And, though it` is preferable to put the headed pivot in o r on the stove, and the dovetail slot, or recess in or ou the vessel, yet it would be possible to reverse them, and still they would answer the same general purpose.

By this mode of uniting the vessel to the stove,- it will be perceived, as shown in fig. 1, that the vessel can be moved backward and forward, to remove it from or place it over the pot-hole, or partially 4from or over it, or it Vcan be swung around its pivot'toward the sides, if so preferred, and is thus susceptible cf being placed where it is not liable to be run against, though projecting beyond the stove; or it can be removed entirely, or another substituted for it, as may be desired, but always, when on the stove, united to it, so as not to be upset or thrown over.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim therein as. new; and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Uniting cookingvessels or other implements to cooking-stoves, by means of a headed pin, and an elongated dovetail or guiding slot, or recess, so' that saidvessel may be moved backward or forward from or over the pot-hole, or be swung around the pin as a centre, substantially as described.
